Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the boneless chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Anchovies

    Chop the anchovy fillets into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Chop the Parsley

    Finely chop the fresh parsley for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 6

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 7

    Sauté Garlic and Anchovies

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped anchovies. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil.

  4. 8

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic and anchovy oil. Add red pepper flakes and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 9

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the chicken on a plate, drizzle with the oil from the skillet, and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
